Martina Sheehan & Susan Pearse

Martina Sheehan always struggled to answer the question “What do you do?” She’s hard to put in a box, graduating as a mechanical engineer but best known for opening people’s eyes to the power of their mind. Together with Mind Gardener® co-founder Susan Pearse, also her co-author of Wired for Life: Retrain Your Brain and Thrive, Martina has inspired thousands of people to lead, work, and live differently, and blogs at www.mindgardener.com.
